Hawaiian Pulled Pork Pizza With Cauliflower Crust Recipes

HAWAIIAN PIZZA WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven: Place the oven rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 475°F.
• Bake the pizza: Bake until the cheese is melted and pizza edges are golden browned and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Serve: Garnish pizza with black pepper and oregano, and slice and serve immediately while hot. Leftovers will keep for about a week. To reheat, place on a foil-lined baking sheet and cook at 375°F until the cheese is melted and the crust is warm and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.

PROSCIUTTO PIZZA WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat a pizza stone or clean baking sheet in an oven to 475 degrees F.
• Add the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the consistency of couscous; you should have about 4 cups.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl. Add the Asiago, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper and combine until the mixture holds together when pinched. Pour onto a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as you can.
• Line a pizza peel, flat cutting board or cookie sheet with parchment and brush with some oil. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a 12-inch circle. Slide the parchment onto the preheated pizza stone and bake until barely golden and darker at the edges, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven, sprinkle with the mozzarella and spread the marinara over the top (this keeps the crust from becoming soggy and the cheese from sliding). Scatter the prosciutto across the top and sprinkle with a good pinch of crushed red pepper. Slide back onto the pizza stone and bake until bubbly with browned spots, about 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the basil just before serving.

HAWAIIAN PIZZA WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Make one cauliflower pizza crust.
• While pizza crust is baking, place bacon, Canadian bacon, pineapple, red pepper, and onion in a large frying pan. Fry in olive oil over medium-high heat for a few minutes, until ingredients begin to brown.
• When pizza crust is done baking, turn on the broiler. Top the pizza crust with cheese and sauteed toppings. Heat pizza in broiler for a minute or so, just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the toppings. Top with chopped chives and serve.

SLOW COOKER HAWAIIAN PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Trim a majority of the fat from the pork shoulder and place it in the slow cooker.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken stock, pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, cover it and set it to LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5 hours.
• Once the pork shoulder is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F, transfer it to a cutting board and pour half of the liquid from the slow cooker into a medium saucepan (discard the rest of the liquid).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water.
• Once the sauce has come to a boil, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue boiling it until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and is the consistency of syrup.
• Using two forks, shred the pork shoulder then transfer it to a large bowl. Add the pineapple then pour in the sauce and toss to combine.

HAWAIIAN PULLED PORK PIZZA WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• For the Hawaiian pulled pork: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Mix the onion powder, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on all sides of the pork. Combine the pineapple, hoisin, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and 1 cup water in a Dutch oven. Add the pork and bake for 6 hours (alternatively, cook the pork in a slow cooker for 8 hours on low).
• Shred the pork with 2 forks, removing any large pieces of fat. Return to the Dutch oven and stir to incorporate with the sauce.
• For the cauliflower crust: Increase the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until fine. Steam in a steamer basket and drain well. (I like to put it on a towel to get all the moisture out.) Let cool.
• Combine the cauliflower with the mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Transfer to the center of the prepared baking sheet and spread into a circle, resembling a pizza crust. Bake until brown and crispy around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Top the pizza with 1 1/2 cups pulled pork, the fresh pineapple and mozzarella and bake until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
• Garnish with pickled red onions and cilantro.
• Put the onions in a nonreactive heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the bay leaf, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a low boil and allow the sugar to dissolve. Pour over the onion and let stand about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and drain the onion, discarding the liquid.
